Hey brothas and sistas of the dark skin! NHWI animated movie trailer coming in december. Started 4 yrs ago, its amateurish but full of AFRICAN love. Stay tuned...LOVE RESPECT  

Rise in excellence, working hard on my next Novel 'N'. It is difficult to fully incorporate into the writing system of this planet but it is coming along regardless of the tendency to psychically project on paper and Microsoft word only to end up having my words visible only in the 5th dimension.

Anyway, I didn't come here today to talk about my challenges; other beings from my world already think I am a social-media-retard because I just won't mentally induct everyone into following me. I am here to wish everyone well and to remind those that have not checked out my website to do so....and no, there are no undercurrent 5th dimensional sentences in this post.

Hi all!

i just published my first set of short stories on Lulu. I'm new to the whole ebook phenomenon, and I thought that it could be me. But, my friend bought it, and couldn't download it, and I bought one, and it didn't download! I emailed my friend a copy, but that could be a problem! I put the Adobe Editions setting so people can't steal it, but if people have trouble with it, it won't sell! Ah, live and learn. I'll see how it goes...

Well after a long delay, I want to announce that I have completed the first book in my series of Novellas in the "LOST CHILD" Fantasy series: The HOUSE of GALES.

I took Stafford's advice and put it out there. Been working on the universe since early 2000's, but I've been tweaking and writing and building their worlds etc. Here is the link (I dropped the price a buck since yesterday : )

Transpacial Tales ebook

I just got it from Amazon. You can get it really cheap if you get the soft cover (mine was around $8 WITH shipping!!) I wrote a few reviews of what I read so far. Lots of good stories--I can wait!

My wife and I flew down from Maryland (boy, were our arms tired) to attend Alien Encounters II in the ATL. Last year, we attended "I"; "II" did not disappoint us.

Thursday featured a very moving tribute and discussion at the Hammond's House about L.A. Banks who passed away this summer. Leslie was a phenomenal writer and overall good person. She touched a lot of lives and broke many barriers for speculative fiction writers of color.

Friday, was devoted to "Griots" with a lively panel discussion and readings featuring the authors and artists from the book. Much love goes to the Davis and Saunders dynamic duo for putting together the first Sword and Soul Anthology.

Saturday afternoon was the most informative, entertaining and inspirational lecture I have been to in years. Scholar Kevin Sipp took us on a musical journey from ancient African drummers and chants to George Clinton's Mother Ship and the Hip Hop folks via "Black Noise Navigators". Brother Sip well-presented his extensive knowledge of Black music and how it has evolved to inspire and encourage us to live "outside of our bodies" and dream the fantastic.

My only regrets were missing Sunday's events due to travel plans; but we certainly plan to attend next year's Alien Encounters III.

the comic never got off the ground, but I dig his crazy urban energy and his ability to capture my characters. He did it for free. Dark Horse turned us down. Maybe someday when my money is right, I can hire him (but he may be too famous for me LOL)

I was pleased to attend the authors' discussion and book signing at Auburn Avenue Research library. This Alien Encounters topic was "Beyond Twilight and Harry Potter: Speculative Fiction for Young Adults of Color." The dicussion was timely, interesting, and important. I'm sad that I missed the other sessions, I was knee deep in finishing Breaking Free. Sadness. But what I heard at this panel was awesome.

Hello, everybody!  I managed to catch only a part of The History Detectives last night, but from what I saw, I thought it would make a good, if short blog.

Back in around 1952 or so, Fawcett Books published Romance Comic Books. To tie in with this trend and capture a whole new audience, a white man named Roy Ald created and wrote "Negro Romance," a series that had runs of 100,000 issues each. But due to poor sales and other pressures of the times, only 3 issues were ever produced. Of special interest was the artist, a young black man named Alvin Hollingsworth, who started working at Fawcett while still in high school. He was a jack-of-all-trades around there, and struck up a friendship with Roy Ald, who gave him the job of drawing Negro Romance.

Alvin Hollingsworth was the first African-American artist to be hired by Fawcett. He left the field of comic books in 1955, and went on to become a reknown painter. His paintings and his life were very integral to the Civil Rights Movement. He also had many showcase displays of his paintings at various museums. He died in 2000.

There was also a bit on journalist Orrin Evans, a white man who created what many consider to be the first black hero in comic books -- "Ace Harlan" (sic?) -- a detective or private eye.

Something I either did not know or long forgot was that in 1932, in the Captain Marvel comics, a black character named Steamboat was introduced. As you can imagine, African-Americans, as well as many white people found this character to be insulting. After years of letters and complaints, Steamboat was dropped from the comic in 1945.

I tell you, The History Detectives has become one of my favorite television shows. I wish I had caught the whole episode. But I guess i can always check it out on the InterNet!
